Thursday June 7, 2:58 pm Eastern Time Basic material shares deserve more attention-fund managers By Thi Nguyen biz.yahoo.com NEW YORK, June 7 (Reuters) - Out-of-favor basic material stocks such as aluminum maker Alcoa Inc. (NYSE:AA - news) and paper firm International Paper Co. (NYSE:IP - news) deserve more investor attention if you believe economic growth is about to accelerate, money managers said. The weighting of chemical, paper and metal stocks in the S&P 500 index (^SPC - news) dropped to 3 percent in 1998 from 7 percent in 1990 as the stocks failed to excite investors, and the weighting has stayed at that level since, according to market research firm Thomson Financial/First Call.
